Study with a clean flashcard app UI made from your notes
DeckOwl turns PDFs, slides, notes and photos into flashcards you review with spaced repetition, in a simple browser interface.
What a good flashcard app interface gets right
A good flashcard app UI keeps the front and back of each card readable, shows what is due today, and gets out of the way so you can study.
- Large, readable front and back of each card
- A clear count of cards due today
- Flip, mark right or wrong, and move on with one tap
- Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan

Study on a schedule
Work through due cards with spaced repetition and come back when the app asks.
Most of the work in flashcard apps happens before the screen: getting the right questions onto the card. DeckOwl reads your own material and drafts the cards, so the interface you study in stays simple.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make per study session?
Most people do well with 20 to 30 new cards a session, plus whatever reviews are due. Shorter sessions with frequent review usually stick better than one long cram.
What makes a flashcard easier to remember?
Keep one fact per card, write the question in your own words, and avoid long answers. Specific cards are easier to recall quickly.
Is DeckOwl free to use?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of Plus, which is $39/year or $7.99/month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan without adding a credit card.
